Intra-abdominal Fat Removal Via Lipo?

I have a combination of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and an oxygen absorption deficit that make aerobic exercise virtually impossible to maintain. My body shape is "apple," with some sub-cutaneous fat (love handles, 'man boobs'). A lot of the fat, though, is beneath the abdominal wall. For health reasons, I'd like to get to a more normal weight (say, 210 rather than 250). That said, can lipo safely remove fat around the internal organs?

It would be nice to even have your intra-abdominal fat removed by liposuction rather than solely by weight loss? Unfortunately, that is not a option for numerous reasons. Liposuction is used to remove fat outside of the abdominal cavity, between the deep muscles and the overlying skin. It is also best and most prudently used for localized contouring and not as a wieght loss procedure.

You need to lose weight by a combination of a strict diet and exercise to tolerance.

Unfortunately there is no surgical operation to remove the intra-abdominal fat. There is only one way to get rid of that fat, and that is wth diet and exercise. If you are having a difficult time loosing weight, I believe the best program, with the highest success rate and also the healthiest way to loose weight is The Eat to Live program , by Dr. Joel Furhman, M.D.. You can find it on Amazon.com.
